1962 Chevrolet Corvair 500
Low mileage. Just out of long term storage. Has new battery and newer tires.
This car needs complete mechanical restoration.
Had carburetors rebuilt, were not done properly.
Can get engine to pop and start with bowls full, but will not stay running. Ghost of Ralph Nadar, because of the smart a** license plates?
Needs brakes gone thru. Undrive-able, trailer pick up only.
Car is solid, with exceptions of front floor pans. Included in sale is pair of new pans.
Rear left quarter is peppered with door dings, body is still solid with good wheel lips, and under eyebrows up front.
Believe it is mostly original paint. Odometer shows 18234 miles. Cannot verify mileage, but judging body and interior, believe that it could be correct.
Gas tank is out of car, needs to be flushed and checked. Currently sort of running off temp gas can in engine bay.
Bought car with intention of letting my kids drive it, but they think it is goofy and gross. Since they have no interest, I have now lost mine.
This would be a good starting point for a restoration without breaking the bank.
Will list it one time, with a $2500 BUY IT NOW, which is about my break even. There is a secret reserve of $2000. If it doesn't make that, I will push it to the back of the garage and sit on it for awhile.
Any and all inspections/questions are encouraged.
Require $200 pay pal deposit if you are winning bidder WITHIN 24 HOURS. This deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE.
Buyer to arrange pickup, will help any way I can. Final payment to be CASH in person or WIRE TRANFER.
Car and Title will not be released until paid for.
If it sells to IOWA resident, I can have plates transferred with vehicle. Any out of state buyers, I will keep plates to turn in.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
